Mitt Romney cancels campaign events, campaigns anyway

This may have nothing to do with church and state separation, but it sure speaks to character. Sorry, but this is not Presidential behavior, Mitt.

It’s unseemly to campaign in the midst of an unfolding natural disaster, but the Romney-Ryan camp was ready this week with a solution: Don’t call it campaigning.

Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, the Republican presidential nominee, canceled campaign rallies on Monday and Tuesday. He instead hosted swing-state "relief" events, which included attacks on the president, a video bio of Romney and multiple photo ops in front of boxes of canned goods.

Democrats have called Romney out for pretending he had stopped campaigning. "Hold a campaign rally in a swing state today if you are going to, but don’t fucking pretend it is doing anything to help storm victims," tweeted Charles Monaco, a Democratic activist.
